First things first, here is the commercial I will be discussing.
I HATE this commerical! First of all the “two hearts”-“Open hearts” design looks UGLY. I mean it looks like two asses or ball sacks creatively made inhto a Z or a swan. I barely get hearts from the design at all. It is NOT inspiring of ANYTHING.
Secondly, Jane Seymour says, “It is my wish that my open heart desing becomes a universal symbnol of hope and love. Because if your heart is open, love will always find away.” Talk about your over grandiose schmaltzy bullshit. Folks at Hallmark throw up when they see that commerical. The Dalai Lama is laughing at Jane Seymour.
Honestly, Jane, you have not desinged a piece of cultural iconography, youhave designed a fucking butt-swan to be sold at Kay’s jewelery store!
I agree, it’s not a pretty design and always looked to me like two butts. I could forgive the schmaltz if it was at least pretty–there’s a ton of ways to do an open heart design that doesn’t look, literally, like ass.
There’s a local car dealer whose commercial says he’s selling cars because he “wants to do [his] part to stimulate the local economy.”
Blow me, Richard Klaben. You’re a car salesman. You’re selling cars because . . . you sell cars. Say it with me now.
When I first saw this necklace on My Name is Earl, I laughed my ass off. Then when I learned it was a real necklace, that they were really selling and not a novelty like Serenity by Jan Candles . . .
I like how she’s already made this design and they’re already producing the necklace, which she’s wearing, but she’s still in her studio painting the damn thing over and over and over again.
I find it amusing to imagine her filling her day drawing it everywhere she goes – in the dust on parked cars, on bald men’s heads (“hmm, eight”), sculpting it her mashed potatoes (“this means something”) – stepping back to admire her work each time.
Sure, but if you want people to buy whatever crap you’re producing, you have to give them a reason for wanting it. There’s a whole industry, called advertising, that has grown up around this rather simple premise.
While i think Seymour’s design is crap, her “pompous” ad claims are no more silly than the claim that wearing crappy Axe deodorant suddenly makes men irresistible to women.
Agreed. The most butt-ugly trend jewelry so far. I hated that little squiggle line of diamonds with all the heat of a thousand suns, but the hearts totally blow.
To me it looks like a weird font for the numeral 2. It took me a minute to actually see two "hearts"in the metal.
IMO, the people who would buy this are also the people who will be disturbed that the “hearts” are open–because if they’re open like that, all the love will flow out and leave the “hearts” empty.
Why can’t she just stay an actress? Why do actors always think they have some other special gift to give? Why, Lord, why?
If not, there are plenty of other jokes to go with:
How come they don’t make it with one of the hearts blue and the other one brown?
or
You’d think she would prefer a nice Solitaire.
